Impact of Optimized Pacing Strategies on Clinical and Hemodynamic Outcomes in Heart Failure Patients With Pacemaker
This study aims to evaluate the clinical impact of an optimized pacing strategy in patients with heart failure. Intervention: Adjustment of the pacemaker lower rate limit to an individualized, hemodynamically optimized heart rate. Primary Endpoint: Heart failure symptoms, assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score. Hypothesis: In patients with …
Oral Carnitine in Heart Failure Patients
Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like being more tired, shortness of breath, and swelling in the body. Carnitine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that plays a role in turning fat into energy. This study …
BiVACOR® Total Artificial Heart Early Feasibility Study
The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH) System to support adult patients with severe biventricular heart failure, or univentricular heart failure in which left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support is not recommended, who require mechanical circulatory support to sustain …
Optimizing Heart Failure Therapies Among Patients With Limited Access in Denver
Numerous pharmacotherapies have been proven to reduce mortality and hospitalization rates for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) patients. However, these are underutilized clinically, preventing realization of proven benefits. Simplified patient education tools and multidisciplinary teams including pharmacists have been used to improve medication optimization but in predominantly private …
PET Myocardial Fatty-acid Metabolic Imaging With XTR003 Injection and 18F-FDG to Assess Myocardial Viability in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-controlled Phase IIb study to investigate the diagnostic-prognostic utility of XTR003 Injection integrated with 18F-FDG as an exploratory clinical trial. A total of 40-60 patients will be enrolled and randomized into two study groups as: fasting XTR003/18F-FDG group and glucose-loaded group at a …
A Study Understanding How Much CDR132L Enters the Bloodstream After Injection Under the Skin Compared to Injection Into a Vein in Healthy Participants
This study is being done to understand how much of the medicine (CDR132L) enters the bloodstream after injection under the skin compared to injection into a vein in healthy people. This will help us find the best way to give the medicine to people living with heart failure. The study …
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Studies of Cardiac Muscle Metabolism
The metabolism of the heart provides the chemical energy needed to fuel ongoing normal heart contraction. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique used in a MRI scanner that can be used to measure and study heart metabolism directly but without blood sampling or obtaining tissue biopsies. One of the hypotheses …
Diuretics vs. Afterload Reduction for Treatment of HeartLogic Alerts
The DART-HA study is a single-center, open label, trial intended to evaluate the clinical efficacy of standard treatment options for congestive heart failure (observation, diuretic or afterload reduction therapy) in patients without new symptoms who have developed abnormalities of the HeartLogic heart failure diagnostic feature.
Circulating Markers That Underlie the Transition From Compensated Hypertrophy to Heart Failure
The purpose of this research is to determine if two proteins in the blood are increased during acute heart failure. These two proteins are produced when the heart becomes dysfunctional and unable to contract normally. They may then be released into the blood and be detected by standard method in …
Sarcopenia in Older Patients Hospitalized for Acute Heart Failure.
Acute heart failure (AHF) is the leading cause of hospitalization in people over 65, with the group with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) being the most closely related to aging. Among its comorbidities, sarcopenia stands out, and its assessment requires measurement of muscle mass. Muscle ultrasound is an accessible and economical …
